In Safe Mode

Annual industry awards honor plants where safety is the rule.

Editor's Note:This month, THE CONCRETE PRODUCER is dedicating Casting Trends to producers committed to creating a safe working environment for their employees. The American Concrete Pipe Association and National Precast Concrete Association honor these companies through their Safety Awards programs.

The American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA) Safety Awards recognize plants participating in the ACPA Safety Awards Program that achieved outstanding safety records during the program year. For 2009, the awards honor exemplary safety performance in five categories: Group First Place, Zero Incidence Rate, Zero Lost-Time Incidence Rate, Incidence Rate Less than Four, and Incidence Rate Less than Eight.
